2. Discussion of Related Art

Women first apply skin toners and lotions to their faces and then, applymascaras, eye shadows, and lipsticks to their faces.

Cosmetic goods such as mirrors, brushes for mascaras, eye shadows, andlipsticks, and so on are to be prepared in order to apply the mascaras,eye shadows, and lipsticks.

The cosmetic goods may be included in the cosmetics but are commonlyseparated from the cosmetics so that the plurality of cosmetic goods areto be received in a cosmetics and cosmetic goods keeping case.

In a conventional cosmetic goods keeping case, since brushes are simplyreceived, a brush collides with the other brushes so that differentcosmetics are mixed with each other and that it is difficult to re-usethe brushes. Also, the brushes are deeply received in the lower part ofthe cosmetic goods keeping case so that it is difficult to take out thebrushes.

In order to solve the problems, as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8, acosmetic goods keeping case in which cosmetic goods for various purposesare kept is used.

The cosmetic goods keeping case is a top-opened square box. A firstcircular hole 110 a is formed in one end and a bracket 110 b having asecond circular hole 110 c is formed in the other end. The cosmeticgoods keeping case also includes a receiving case 110 on whose innerbottom a mirror 112 is provided, a cosmetic goods receiving device 114that is rotated based on a hinge pin 114 a inserted into the firstcircular hole 110 a of the receiving case 110 and in which brush settinggrooves 114 b into which grips 116 a of a plurality of brushes 116 areinserted are formed, a torsion spring 118 whose linear extension part inone end extended from a coil is fixed to the receiving case 110 andwhose linear extension part in the other end extended from the coil isfixed to the cosmetic goods receiving device 114 so that a force thatmakes the cosmetic goods receiving device 114 erect is applied, and acover 120 that is rotated based on a hinge pin 120 a of a side surfacepart 120 b inserted into the second circular hole 110 c of the bracket110 b of the receiving case 110, that is formed transparent to cover thereceiving case 110, and in whose one end a locking protrusion 120 clocked to a locking groove 110 d of the receiving case 110 is formed.

In the cosmetic goods keeping case having the above structure, the cover120 is closed in a state where the brushes 116 are inserted into thebrush settling grooves 114 a of the cosmetic goods receiving device 114and then, the cosmetic goods receiving device 114 is forcibly pressed tobe received in the receiving case 110 and is rotated. In the cosmeticgoods keeping case, when the cover 120 is opened by releasing thelocking protrusion 120 c of the cover 120, the cosmetic goods receivingdevice 114 is erected by the elastic force of the torsion spring 118provided in the hinge pin 114 a. At this time, the plurality of brushes116 inserted into the brush settling grooves 114 a may be selectivelytaken out.

Therefore, when a user desires to apply make-up while carrying thecosmetics and cosmetic goods in the receiving case 110, the userreleases the locking protrusion 120 c of the cover 120 from the lockinggroove 110 d of the receiving case 110 to open the cover 120. At thesame time, the cosmetic goods receiving device 114 is automaticallyerected by the torsion spring 118. At this time, the user selects thebrush 116 to be used and then, applies make-up with one hand holding thereceiving case 110 and the other hand holding the grip 116 a of thebrush 116 while looking at the mirror 112 attached to the bottom of thereceiving case 114.

However, in the conventional cosmetic goods keeping case, since theforce that presses the cosmetic goods receiving device 114 is removedwhen the cover 120 is opened, the cosmetic goods receiving device 114 israpidly erected by the elastic force of the torsion spring 118.Therefore, the brushes 116 inserted into the brush settling grooves 114a deviate from the brush settling grooves 114 a. In order to prevent thebrushes 116 from deviating from the brush settling grooves 114 a, theuser must erect the cosmetic goods receiving device 114 while softlypressing the cosmetic goods receiving device 114.

When the used brushes 116 are inserted into the cosmetic goods receivingdevice 114 and then, the cosmetic goods receiving device 114 is kept inthe receiving case 110 and the cover 120, the force that erects thecosmetic goods receiving device 114 is applied by the elastic force ofthe spring 118 so that the brushes 116 settled in the cosmetic goodsreceiving device 114 always contact the internal surface of the cover120 to be pressed and that the brushes 116 are deformed when the brushes116 are kept in the receiving case 110 for a long time.
